<div>Ok, so I tried making my own cable. I have the Linksys switch. The phone powered up, but never registered. I don't know if this could be a VLAN issue or not. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>When I got back to my desk, I noticed asterisk was giving off all kinds of notices and warnings. It took restarting asterisk to get the network working again. Asterisk itself was not affecting. (I'm passing some PRI channels through to a legacy box, and that was still working). But, it appeared asterisk could not communicate with the SIP and SCCP phones.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'll have to work on this more afterhours.<br><br> </div>

<div>I was just about to suggest the Powersense module that Cory mentioned. And no, the G models do not support 802.3af.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cory, there was some discussion about just doing the cable only works on "dumb" poe injectors, not the ones that only send power if requested. I was under the impression the Linksys only sent power if requested, and if that was the case only the Powersense would work. Admittedly, I have not tried the cable only approach.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The discussions were all from this list several months ago. There was also someone that said the cable that converts standard POE to use for the Polycom non standard POE phones would work as well. I haven't tried this yet either.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I may do some experimenting today. Guess I should locate my oldest 7960 first, in case there are sparks and a fire :-)<br><br> </div></div>
